Redemption Song - Bob Marley | Guitar Chords

[Intro]
---------------------
G

[Verse 1]
---------------------
    G                      Em
Old pirates, yes, they rob I,
  C           Cmaj7       Am
Sold I to the merchant ships,
G                        Em
 Minutes after they took I 
C         Cmaj7   Am
 From the bottomless pit.
       G          Em
But my hand was made strong
C            Cmaj7        Am
 By the hand of the Almighty.
      G                Em
We forward in this generation
C          D
 Triumphantly.
D                   G
Won't you help to sing

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
C   D           G
 These songs of freedom?
       C     D      Em
'Cause all I ever have,
C  D     G
 Redemption songs,
C  D     G
 Redemption songs.

[Verse 2]
---------------------
C D      G                         Em
   Emancipate yourself from mental slavery,
            C               Cmaj7 Am
None but ourselves can free our minds.
     G                      Em
Have no fear for atomic energy,
            C           Cmaj7      D
'Cause none of them can stop the time.
    G                        Em
How long shall they kill our prophets,
       C        Cmaj7    Am
While we stand aside and look?
       G                     Em
Some say it's just a part of it,
      C         Cmaj7  D
We've got to fulfill the book.
D                   G
Won't you help to sing

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
C   D           G
 These songs of freedom?
       C     D      Em
'Cause all I ever have,
C  D     G
 Redemption songs,
C  D     G
 Redemption songs.
C  D     G        C D
 Redemption songs.
